Translating orality aspects from one language into another is a notoriously challenging task. This is one of the reasons why rendering interjections and suprasegmental features as orality aspects have rarely been taught. This study, hence, was performed to be one step towards more analyses and researches in this domain and to be a hope towards the application of these orality aspects in translation studies classes. In the present study, the researcher attempted to introduce interjections and ...
Lesions inside white matter of brain are the pathological symbols of MS. These lesions are noticed well in MRI images. Determining and quantitative analysis of these lesions has been an important yet challenging task in recent year. In this paper, we propose a new method for segmenting these lesion in noisy T2-weighted MRI images based on statistical texture features and a variation of conventional k-means clustering, namely, k-medoids clustering algorithm. We compared the performance of our ...
A new indicator is proposed to facilitate the detection of newly induced damage in reinforced concrete(RC) beams, based on the transient characteristics of nonlinear vibration. Two full-scale RC beams,one reinforced with externally bonded fiber-reinforced-polymer sheets, are tested to develop theproposed damage indicator. Both beams are statically and dynamically loaded to correlate thedynamic characteristics of the beams to the damage level. A phenomenological model is developedto simulate the ...
